Introducing Mighty Oak

We're thrilled to be bringing you a fabulous new collection of products today, inspired by the gorgeous oak tree. Strong and sure, the oak is much-loved and we're excited for you to see what we've created with this beauty in mind.

This clean and simple woodgrain tree trunk and the twenty-seven varieties of interchangeable leaves is designed to coordinate with our Cover Plate: Mighty Oak die for endless possibilities. The beautiful sentiments will tuck perfectly into the right hand corner of the Cover Plate die for easy design options. The classic, simple shape of the leaves allows them to be used for other applications, such as flowers, backgrounds, borders and so much more!

A coordinating cover plate die will be available for sale separately, retailing for $18. This collection includes a total of 2 dies. They measure 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" (A), 1-3/4" x 1-1/8"- individually 1" x 3/8" (B).

Now that I've made all of the formal introductions, let's get onto the projects!

For my first project I wanted to highlight just how clean and simple you can go! I die-cut the Cover Plate: Mighty Oak from Vintage Cream cardstock and popped out all of the pieces.

I stamped all of the leaves using Canyon Clay, Simply Chartreuse, Ocean Tides and Classic Kraft inks.

I lay the leftover Cover Plate: Mighty Oak die-cut over the front of my Classic Kraft card front. After I stamped each leaf, working my way around, I would adhere them into place through the Cover Plate as a guide. Lastly, I removed the Cover Plate and I was left with this beautiful arrangement! There's no need to worry about design or balance because all of the hard work is already done for you!

The fonts in this new set are some of my favorites. Not to mention, how in love I am with this particular quote. I stamped it in Vintage Cream in the lower corner.

I swiped a bit of Vintage Cream ink around the edges to help ground the tree.

For my second project I really wanted to experiment a bit with cork.

I die-cut the Cover Plate: Mighty Oak from adhesive cork and adhered the negative to a white card front. I just love the texture it adds.

I die-cut all of the leaves from white cardstock and stamped them using Scarlet Jewel, Autumn Rose and Lavender Moon.

I stamped the sentiment directly onto the cork using True Black ink. To go along with the sentiment, I die-cut and stamped one of the smaller apple images from Apple Prints and "hung" it from one of the branches in the tree.

This same type of technique would be fun to do with felt!

For my last project I wanted to do something other than a tree with all these basic leaf shapes.

I decided to create a medallion. I started with Smokey Shadow cardstock and added the medallion pieces with VersaMark ink. I then brushed on Perfect Pearls to make all those gorgeous details pop.

A tiny rhinestone flower was the perfect finishing touch to the center of the medallion.

The last thing I added was the sentiment from Basket of Blessings, again in VersaMark and Perfect Pearls.

Now that you have seen a few of my creations, here are some of the amazing things that the team has created!

Uh oh!!! I’m a gone-er this month. I HAVE to have this set along with a bunch of other stuff that’s on already on my list. I can see this tree for every season of the year and it has wonderful sentiments!

The tree is magnificent, but the crowning glory is the sentiments you chose. Your sentiments in combination with the fonts you use, are the best in the business. (Actually, everything about your stamps and dies are the best in the business.) The patterns for the leaves are fabulous too; they just beg to be more than leaves, as well. (Don’t yo just love Betsy’s quilt?)

Must say that these cards are ALL beyond amazing and so utterly inspiring. Love that even though they have obvious similarities they are so different. It shows the versatility of the set! A must have in my opinion.

This was one of those sets I knew would be in my cart just from the sneak peek. I love tree images. I love cover plates. To have the two combined – oh happy day! Beautiful projects from the design team.

So love this sneak peek. And here I thought it couldn’t get any better after the coffee cozy die. The design team has done a terrific job this month with all their projects. I’m ready and waiting to order 🙂

Papertrey Ink has the most amazing design team. They never fail to amaze and inspire me with all their creativity each and every month. How lucky we are to be able to see all this with a click of a computer key.Thank you Nicole, Papertrey Ink and all your wonderfully talented designers.

What a cool cover plate. The Mighty Oak seems to have sooo many different ways to use it. Besides all the traditional looks I love the spooky eyes that Jess made and the turkey tails that Cristina made.

I can remember one day on a whim I send a suggestion for a set of trees. When I did this all I thought of was a simple stamp – maybe the same trunk but different leaves for making different trees. At that time, I never thought of anything like todays posts. I am soooo in love with this – and can’t wait to get it on my crafting table. Maybe more trees in the PTI future!!!!!???? Thanks Nichole and DT!

Wow! Trees and earthy images like this aren’t my typical style, but this cover plate and stamp set are amazing. So many of the design team projects literally took my breath away. Unbelievable! My absolute favorite was Heather’s card with the multi-colored leaves and all of the stitching. Phenomenal!

I absolutely love this cover plate and stamp set!! I’m getting married in a month and this is our theme!! We will have leaves and trees everywhere! So it reminds me of pur wedding which I love! I told my friend that she should get this set and make our wedding card using it in our colors 🙂 I can’t wait to get my hands on this set!

Wow! What a neat idea! The PTI design team always comes up with the most creative ideas (both for product and projects!) The technique on your medallion card reminded me of a poinsettia; it could so be used for Christmas, too.!

I am again absolutely lost for words. Cover Plate Mighty Oak is just genius and the ability to do so much more than the obvious is what I’ve come to associate with PTI products. Cannot wait to receive my order!

Oh how wonderful is this Mighty Oak set?!? Love how you can use the negative die cut as well as the positive ~ It’s just so beautiful. AND, the different leave patterns are fabulous and versatile is so many ways.
Love everyone’s creative samples for these awesome stamps and dies 🙂

Love the cover plate and coordinating stamps! Would love to make a card to send my brother with a yellow ribbon around the trunk of that tree as well as similar card to send other soldiers. Lots of ideas for CAS cards using the leaf stamps, too.

BE STILL MY HEART!! I am in LOVE with the Mighty Oak!! 🙂 FABULOUS samples PTI team!! Loved each and every one.. and now I will be counting the days til the FABULOUS set/die can be home with me!! 🙂
Have a GREAT day!!! Cant wait to shop… gonna have to wait til after our concert.. hoping it all doesnt sell out!! HA HA!! 🙂

This is the product to catch me totally off guard this month! I told myself that I had plenty of trees and didn’t need another. Wrong! So many fabulous ideas with the Mighty Oak set and coverplate. My head is spinning, I have so many plans! Thanks for all of the inspiration!

What a beautiful set for fall! I love the cards with trees and leaves, and WOW on the medallion – so creative. Jessica Witty’s cards with the eyes from the leaf dies is so clever too! Thanks for sharing your ideas, ladies!!

Oh my goodness! This cover plate and stamp set are just so beautiful!! I love what the team did today with their projects. Showed such versatility. I can’t wait for tomorrow when the products are available. I am in serious trouble this month with my wish list.

I have to admit, when I first saw Mighty Oak, I thought, although really pretty, I don’t need another tree stamp set. Then . . . I saw what Nichole and the design team did with it. So much more than ‘just another tree set’! Ha, a must have for my stampin’ arsenal along with the Cover Plate!

I loved checking out all the amazing DT projects today, but my favourite was Christina’s lovely framed artwork. What a wonderful idea for a wedding gift. Truly something special and heartfelt to cherish.

when my children were in school, I used to hang on to the last few days of summer . . . never wanted it to end, but they’re grown and gone and I can’t WAIT for fall to come so I can create gorgeous projects with all of these beautiful products!

I absolutely love this set! A larger tree that will cover the front of a card – perfect!!!!! And the matching die, awesome! My first thought with this is that it would be awesome to make a mini guest book type frame! It would be cute to do with a child’s class each year – have each child sign a leaf and then put it in an album beside a class picture! Perfect!

There are so many great projects today! I love Maile’s creations, Christina’s embossing & Dawn’s color combination! I’m also liking the burlap embossed background the more I see of it. Thanks for all the ideas!

TREES!!! I love trees. In college I did an independent study in photography and most of my pictures were of trees. They are so incredible to photograph. Each angle gives a different picture and a tree taken in different seasons can look like a different tree totally. I’m so excited for this release!!
